We can stick a fork in this - it's done! I forgot to mention that I put the GE Flag in reserve and I would interrupt to roll for an alliance. If successful that would pretty much seal the deal as I could use GE air to help IT attacks too.

Oh well... I only had one more offensive in the pool and it was IT. I could try to convert the GE flags into military actions but I only had two of those left.

I think the key would be taking Paris since I think that makes the surrender number 4 or 5. Getting the FR-UK alliance would be critical as the UK air and tanks could protect Paris.

I'm up for the PTO scenario. I'll let you pick the side!!

We each lose 1 step. GE Army goes into force pool. I imagine you lose the FR army instead of the fortress (but its your choice - not sure which is better - fortress can't retreat to satisfy a loss, but you get a +1 in the next combat).

That's what I was hoping for. It's a tie, so both sides lose an inf. The remaining IT Inf stays in Provence and now we follow the Aftermath rules (10.9)

- place IT cube (VP +1/-1)- UK would gain another flag if it could- IT gains a flag for conquering an enemy home area (5.2.4) (place Il Duce in reserve)- now we conduct a Stability test on France

Interesting. IT actually can't use that Offensive for builds since IT is not a belligerent yet.

I think I will interrupt to try to knock France out. I'll spend the IT Offensive to get 2 military actions

1. Augmentation2. Land Operation - Lombardy attacks Provence

Ramifications:

- IT and FR are at War (place cubes showing a separate war to the GE-FR war)- FR gets a flag and now I think UK does too (but no matter, they don't have any free ones). FR flag must go in the pool

Ok - I think that's it. Pretty simple combat - no air, no tanks, just Inf (+1 for me augmentation, +1 for you for terrain).

No help at all from BR right now as BR is still neutral, and it'll take 2x BR flag plays to get BR into the game (increasing commitment to mobilization assuming dr is successful, then DoW). Even then, the lack of a FR-BR alliance means BR help to FR isn't very effective. I certainly gave it my best effort to make a BR-FR Alliance, but the low FR effectiveness makes it difficult - it was 33% likely that I'd fail to make the BR-FR Alliance with a 1 die roll plus a 1 die roll with +1drm.In any event, I'm signing off for the night.

So, Status Quo is dead (as soon as I mobilized). Therefore you CAN draw resources from non-Home areas (see red box under 4.4.2).

So I think you can draw on Rumania, but I don't see a path for Czech. I think when you controlled Poland there was a viable path (through Denmark) but without Poland I think Czech has no LOC.

Thus you can burn the Rumania resource in your next production. It doesn't help you with the Mobilization - only Industrial resources (like Czech) turn into bonus Offensive chits.

So, I think you get 3 added to your force pool, and one Offensive. And that Offensive can go into Reserve.

So, the good news is that you don't need to roll to increase commitment if you are a belligerent. See second sentence of 6.4. You still needed to spend the flag but it is automatically successful.

You increase your force pool by 3 units, and get at least 1 Offensive (for Paris). Now that you're a belligerent you might be able to draw on those minor countries... Let me check.

FR will interrupt, and will use a flag to try and increase commitment (which will get me commitment offensives, which I can use for builds)

Rolling for commitment removes the failed cubes from the Alliance box (which just ain't gonna happen)

If I had attacked Paris it would be adjacent to London, but I don't think the UK has any interests in any of the spaces adjacent to Lorraine.- I assume the Flag goes in Reserve- I will bring in both Air units for support, I assume you will do the same with your FR air units (UK air too far away)

* I'm not quite sure I see what you're doing here.You have an Offensive in reserve, so you're using that to convert to 2 Builds (as you're at Mobilization).

So, I iterrupted with the Offensive, converted it to two builds (which is illegal I now understand if I'm not a belligerent).

It costs 2 builds to buy the Armor Upgrade chit, which can either go into the chit pool or into reserve (which is now open since I just spent the GE Offensive that was there).

I can't interrupt again with the GE Armor Upgrade (that would be two in a row) but after the Crisis marker was resolved I am able to do just that. Interrupt with the Armor upgrade marker which flips an INF in Ruhr (and the Armor Upgrade goes back into the Force Pool).

> * I do get the Canada build, as Canada counts as UK home country (not a colony)

Right, but once UK is a belligerent you will get a resource point from Asia.

And yes, there are now 2xFR and 2xUK cubes in the Alliance space.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I will interrupt with GE Offensive.

Since I am at mobilization, that converts to 2 military actions. I will use those 2 military actions to build the armor upgrade (out of the force pool) and then place it into reserve.

OK - now we're ready for a chit pull. I can't interrupt with IT since they are facist.

Chit coming...

>>> IT can't interrupt after GE (even after you turned down the option to interrupt) so it goes to FR. <<<* ah, I keep forgetting that you can't have 2 interrupts in a row from the same ideologyOK, FR will interrupt, and use a flag to try again for the BR-FR alliance (BR also spends it's flag in reserve)I'm not convinced this is a very good idea as if I succeed both GE and IT will get a flag, but I'll do it anywayAlliance die roll gets a +1 as both BR and FR have failed cubes in the Alliance box.
